"Let's RECREATE a Disney channel movie"- Places that inspired Disney movies.

Even though I have already been to Barcelona, performing The Cheetah Girls strut choreography was and still is my goal but im not not sure if that will happen. But that led me to track down other places that inspired Disney movies. Many of us know the movie, but many might not know the location. Below are a few of my favorite Disney movies and the places that inspired them.
